But imperialism IS racist at it's core though. The justification historically (and implicitly today) is these people are better off either dead or under our control, because they don't share our European bloodli- I mean values.

What was the motivation when the Aztecs or Mongolians did it?

The motivation is not ethnicity. It's resources.

Always has been.

Yeah, racism is a huge impetus for imperialism, sure. But if for some reason Gazans gradually became white over the past 75 years, I don't think the imperialism would stop now. The log's rolling.

Yeah fair enough. There's just too much momentum.
